Kate McDermott’s Cranberry Pie @KerrygoldUSA

kate's cranberry pie

You may be surprised to learn that Cranberry Pie is another way to enjoy this seasonal fruit other than traditional sauce or relish we find on many holiday tables. If you enjoy a fresh sour cherry pie in the summer, you will love this pie made with cranberries. I use them fresh in season, and also freeze them so I can use them year round. Add a handful of chopped walnut meats to these bright red orbs of delightful tartness, and a bit of orange liqueur to the filling or in a small glass to pair with the pie when it is served.

Ingredients:

  • 1 qt (4 cups) cranberries, chopped (add some whole berries, too)
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch (there’s a lot of pectin in cranberries so very little thickener is needed)
  • A small pinch of nutmeg
  • A small pinch of salt
  • 1 oz orange (liqueur optional)
  • 1/2-1 cup chopped walnut meats (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Kerrygold Irish Salted Butter
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 Art of the Pie double crust recipe or your crust recipe of choice.

Directions:

  1. Put cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg, salt, and optional walnuts and orange liqueur in a large bowl. Mix well with a spoon and set aside.
  2. Roll out bottom crust and place in pie plate and spoon cranberry filling into it. Dot top of filling with 1 tablespoon of Kerrygold Irish Butter broken into small pieces.
  3. Roll out remaining dough disk and carefully lay top crust over filling. Trim excess dough, crimp edges of pie and cut some vents in top crust.
  4. Separate egg white into a small bowl and fork beat with 1 tablespoon water. Brush crust with egg mixture and sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar.
  5. Bake on the middle rack of the oven until crust is just golden, about 40 minutes at 375 degrees F. Depending on your oven, it may take a little more time!

Note: Use a food processor to chop the cranberries quickly. I chop 3 cups of the cranberries and add 1 cup whole for a filling with varied texture.

Luscious Carrot Cake

dgold carrot cake 26516The first time your kids hear ‘carrot cake’, they might pull a face – a cake with carrots in it? – but once they try some of this deliciously moist, sweet and dense dessert, they should be all smiles. This cake should get you between 12 and 16 slices, depending on how generous you are!

Ingredients

  • 150g Dairygold Baking Block, melted
  • 150g light brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 200g self-raising wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½tsp ground nutmeg
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 100g raisins
  • 200g grated carrot
  • 100g pecans

For the icing:

  • 130g Dairygold baking block
  • 300g soft cream cheese
  • 160g icing sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mk 4.

Prepare a rectangular cake tin (or two sandwich tins) by lining it with lightly greased greaseproof paper, leaving some overlapping the edges.

Beat the sugar, Dairygold Baking Block and eggs together until the mixture has doubled in size.

Next, fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and spice, making sure to mix well.

Stir in the carrots, raisins and nuts until they’re evenly mixed through.

Pour into your tin(s) and bake for 35-40 minutes, before allowing to cool.

While that’s happening, beat together the icing ingredients and smooth over the cooled cake.

If you made two cakes in sandwich tins, you can create a middle layer of icing for double the creamy deliciousness!
